Nazli Parvizi on the Mission of the Museum of Food and Drink | 04-05-26

Cindy Adams sits down with Nazli Parvizi, president of the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD), who describes the institution’s mission to educate the public through the universal and joyful lens of food. Located in Brooklyn, the museum avoids judgmental lectures on nutrition, choosing instead to humanize the food system by highlighting the diverse stories of the people behind our meals. The current exhibition focuses on the history of street vending, illustrating how waves of immigrants used food carts as a tool for entrepreneurship and cultural resilience to build iconic New York legacies.
